Reviews
“The facts are here, the frustration, the courage, the hope.” ―Booklist
“Rolling Along helps fill a need experienced in many libraries as it presents a well-rounded and objective view of a child with a physical handicap…. simple, but well told.” ―Christian Library Journal
“I found the words to be sensitive and interesting and found it to be a valuable read for children without a disability to get a better understanding of what it means on a daily basis for kids that do. I highly recommend!” ―Momma’s Bacon
